Mall of Mthatha

Mall of Mthatha is a prominent regional shopping destination in the Eastern Cape, serving the greater Mthatha area with an exceptional retail experience. Acquired by Flanagan & Gerard Property Group and Vukile Property Fund in early 2024, the mall is currently undergoing an exciting transformation aimed at enhancing its offering and community appeal.

Rooted in Mthatha’s rich heritage—home to Nelson Mandela and a hub of the Eastern Cape’s cultural legacy—Mall of Mthatha reflects its vibrant surroundings and community spirit. Strategically positioned, this single-level mall boasts a strong retail presence with a diverse tenant mix that includes major South African retailers, exclusive brands and popular fashion outlets.

Significant upgrades are underway to enhance the shopping experience and strengthen the mall’s synergy with the neighbouring Mayfair Hotel and Casino. New escalators connecting the basement parking to the retail level will streamline access, while redesigned mall lobbies will provide seamless connections to key tenants. A revitalised main entrance will feature dramatic design elements, landscaping and a vibrant atmosphere to enhance the connection with the adjacent precinct.

The retail mix is being re-energised with the addition of new stores and a greater focus on essential goods, including an expanded pharmacy offering. The mall already hosts anchor tenants such as Pick n Pay, Checkers, Woolworths and Clicks, along with popular fashion brands like Truworths, Edgars, and Mr Price. Recent additions include Queenspark and Pick n Pay Clothing, with further expansions planned.

Improvements to the mall’s amenities are also a priority. Enhanced security, upgraded lighting, additional CCTV cameras, and newly renovated restrooms ensure a clean, safe, and welcoming environment for all visitors. Mall of Mthatha continues to evolve as a dynamic retail hub, delivering convenience and vibrancy to the heart of its community.
